Secure authenticated access with support for users, groups, and directory services.

Administrator role has complete control over access, including which nodes and directories are visible.

Granular control over all end-user operations at the directory level.

Real-time activity feed keeps track of end user actions and operations such as creating, deleting and renaming files and directories, and all administration / management functions.

Comprehensive system logging.

Configurable thresholds for administrative alerts such as the % or amount of free space available.

Known Issues

(#12883) When searching (browsing) recursively the sort parameter is ignored.

(#14532) The transfer rate and encryption settings can be circumvented by the user by manually changing the fasp URL before submitting. In order to enforce the settings, you need to set the desired values in the aspera.conf file on the node.

(#15396) Cannot download special file types like symlinks, block and character device files and socket files.
